Curran-Shaffer Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc. (Apollo)

In 1975, Gary P. Curran established the original funeral home at 322 North Second Street in downtown Apollo. In 1992, he purchased the Shaffer Funeral Home in Apollo, and simultaneously owned and operated the business along with his North Second Street location. In 1994, the new funeral home was built at its present location, 100 Owens View Avenue, along Route 56 in Kiski Township. Curran's and Shaffer's were both closed, merged, and relocated to the new facility, which was named Curran-Shaffer Funeral Home, Inc. Gary died in 2002, and the funeral home was purchased by Art Kunkle and Gary's brother, Bill Curran. In October 2004, a full service crematory was added to the funeral home, making history in both Armstrong County and the entire Kiski Valley, by being the first crematory in both regions. The staff that has the great honor of serving our families is Arthur R. Kunkle, Jr. President, James A. Kunkle, Frank A. Cagnina Jr., Anthony J. Pusateri Jr., and Andrew Tylinski.
